Deals so good, you won't want to fall asleep.
You remember back when you used to walk into a store, browse the shelves, pick out a game, and then buy it--all in the actual real world? We don't know about you, but most of us at GOG.com have had our limbs atrophy to small vestigial nubbins since all of our shopping happens online these days. Of course, one thing that sometimes happens in real world stores with real world goods--particularly when they have a good sale--is that they run out of stock. Usually that means that the deal was so good that they couldn't keep up with demand.

Well, in the digital realm, this is usually pretty rare. How do you run out of stock on digital games, short of entropy devouring the universe? Well, we have gotten 101 games that will be on sale on the front page of GOG.com, but the discounts are so high at the moment that we can't just sell an unlimited number of copies of these games: we are only able to sell a few at these discounts--up to 80% off--and once they're gone, they're gone.

So what games will be on sale in our Insomnia promo? Bestselling classics and new games alike. There will also occasionally be some free games in super limited numbers (like, 20 or 30 copies)--if you're fast enough on the trigger finger to pick 'em up, that is. The deal will run from now until we're out of "stock" of games for the sale, and games may show up more than once. So it's time to bathe in a tub of coffee*, dip some espresso**, snort an energy drink***, or do whatever else it takes to stay up so you don't miss out on the best deals on fantastic games on GOG.com since summer.
*This is probably not a good idea
**This is definitely not a good idea
***This is totally safe, though****
****NO IT'S NOT WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU CRAZY PERSON

RafaelLopez: Lords of Midnight came so cheap (something like $1.50) I bought it even though I didn't need it! (already own it in Android)

Hah, the free games disappear so quick it's absurd, haha!
I love your... Avatar. :)

overread: If you got a confirmation email just send a support ticket to GOG and they'll look into it. There might be a few hiccups here and there but they should be able to sort things out.
Mmmh, I didn't think of that, but I confirm the code is not there either :-(

I'll contact support later then :-)

trebor8273: must be something wrong with me seem to be one of the few who doesn't cry like a F***ing spoiled brat if they don't get a free game
So true and so sad...
However I would have really loved to get Erica Reed Cognition. I just hope clickers will actually play and enjoy the game, not just own it !
I didn't get anything,but what can we do - too much traffic. :D

dedoporno: Sure, because "Internal server error" is client-side based...

SLP2000: So tell me, how's that I don't get that message?
I don't say it is all the time, but it happens way too often that it should. Also this is a nginx error, which is the server.

Luck?

Every single time I try to click on something I am interested in, whether it be a discounted game or a free one, I get either a Bad Gateway/Internal Server Error or the GoG 'We're sorry but our service is too popular' error with the blue globe of disappointment. If I manage to bypass these errors it has shown me the 'This promotion has ended' page - 5/5 times in a row so far.

Just because you do not experience an issue does not mean an issue does not exist.

groze: I managed to buy a game (Baldur's Gate 2 Complete), I got the Pay Pal e-mail saying the payment has been made, but the GOG account page showed an error and the game does not appear to be in my collection... I'm more than willing to send you guys a copy of the Pay Pal e-mail I got.
I have a similar problem, i sended an e-mail with the code of the transaction to the support site.
Snapped up Inquisitor!


Anyone keeping a count? we must be near the 100 game mark
Is anybody else so burned out by this that when a game on your wishlist comes up, you don't buy it. That's me right now. I don't want to encourage GOG to do this again. I could get weak if a game comes up that is more than a wish list, but is instead a must buy. Hope not.
Can you guys hear that? It's the sound of a million bots and credit cards, begging for rest and release.
Yes, got Evoland!
Damn Evoland... I KNEW a free game was coming, yet it slipped through my fingers ;P.
Huh. I just missed getting Evoland for free. I honestly don't know how I feel about that.

Zeraan: Even if email isn't sent, you should be able to see list of codes in your account for gifting.
I checked it's not there. I have paypal confirmation that my account was debited though.

I wanted that one so bad. Darn it.
